Here in this article from “Humans of New York” , veterans of war describe their initial resistance to seeking help for themselves. After engaging in EMDR therapy, here’s what the veteran said: “The symptoms started to go away. After a few sessions, I remember walking into my therapist’s office and saying: ‘This stuff actually works!’ And he said: ‘Yeah. It does.’”
Yes it does, EMDR works and not only for PTSD for war veterans , but also for anyone who has experienced trauma whether from childhood abuse, chronic chaos, criticism or trauma in adulthood.
